Batman Series 3 and Teen Titans

[Timothy2251]

Just got my Titans and Alfred today, and FTC knocked 'em outta the park. Never had the Titans before, so their presence fills a noticeable hole in my collection. Alfred's slick, too, though I agree with Madmarva - head needed to be rescaled a bit. The scuplt is amazing, though. Alfred's face has this slight exasperation to it, like he's gotta go patch up Batman, again, before he bleeds on the Batcave floor he JUST finished polishing.

Bring on Gordon and Ra's Al Ghul!

yippee.... Got my Kid Flash today

I am SO looking forward to Ra's al Ghul! He's one of my favorite characters.

Now if only Craig and Dave can get the Blake's 7 license, I will be very happy.

Agreed, the Ras sculpt looks great, hope we get Talia in the wave after that.

They do look great. The bodies are just the right tightness and scale. I still have problems with cutting off the costume to accommodate the boots and gloves. ....and the Wonder Girl figure is still bad. Personally, I'd like to see them improve on the originals, but it seems that's not what they're going for. Still, happy as a clam, here, to get new toys.

I had pre-ordered Wave 3 from Entertainment Earth but found them on Amazon. I ended up getting TeenTitans & Batman wave 3 for $106 each including shipping.

The original Titan figures also had sleeves and pant legs cut short for gloves and boots. FTC is just replicating what Mego originally did.

Anyone commented yet on why the Batgirl necks are assembled wrong? The neck is caught down in the torso; it didn't slide down like the originals often did, it was assembled that way. Catwoman was put together correctly, but both of my Batgirls are like this, and it looks like all the photographed figures on the Facebook page have the same problem.

Scott I have not yet Received mine to compare but, call FTC and voice your concern, maybe they are unaware, I have to say their customer service is second to none in my experience with them and if it is fixable they will make things right.

My Batgirl has that problem too but I didn't notice it until you mentioned it. Can the neck be pulled out to where it's supposed to be without damaging the figure?

[megomania]

My Batgirl is quite "hippy"...more pear-shaped than I remember the original.

[lilbrosj66]

I wonder if they are even aware that this is how they are being assembled? I'm sure they'd fix it if they knew.

The original Titan figures also had sleeves and pant legs cut short for gloves and boots. FTC is just replicating what Mego originally did.

Mego pretty much had to do it that way; the gloves and boots on the Titans were like Thor's boots, a rubbery vinyl rather than hard plastic (and they were considerably thinner than Thor's footwear to fit tighter, as well). Tucking the sleeves and legs into them would have caused some noticeable bulging. I don't think it would be as big a problem with the stiffer material Figures is using, but they are trying to duplicate the originals as much as possible, so I see why they did them this way here.
